The Coastal Safety Accident Risk Forecast System is a system that alerts the public in advance about the risk of safety accidents in coastal waters during specific periods of bad weather or natural disasters. It is issued in three levels depending on severity: interest, caution, and warning.

According to Mokpo Maritime Police, with the weather advisory expected to be in effect for an extended period starting on the 19th, the risk of coastal accidents such as falling into the sea is expected to increase.

During the period when the Coastal Safety Accident Risk Forecast System is issued, the Maritime Police will strengthen patrols on sea and land, focusing on coastal low-risk areas such as coastal waters, ports, harbors, and rocky shores. They will also make every effort to prevent coastal safety accidents through publicity and safety guidance activities via local governments, branch offices, electronic signboards, and announcement broadcasts.

A representative of Mokpo Maritime Police said, "We ask for caution to prevent safety accidents during the bad weather period," and added, "The Maritime Police will maintain a state of readiness to respond immediately to any accidents."
